My Heart is Full!

I don't even know where to begin.

My heart is full!

After a weekend of beautiful General Conference, Great friendship and great food.. My heart is full!

As most of you you know Matt and I struggle with infertility. We have decided to go back to the Doctors after a year break starting in January. InVitro is our next step and is very pricey!  So Matt and I have some very good people in ours lives. Our sweet friends put together a fundraiser to raise money for the very expensive InVitro! Over the past 24 hours friends, family and strangers have donated and shared our story and fundraiser on the Facebook World. I am beyond grateful for so many people and their support. I had no idea that so many people are rooting for us and giving so much support. The Prayers, thoughts, texts, phone calls, emails and notes have been so sweet and very supportive. It means the world to us!
I always seem to get a phone call, a hello or even a little treat on my door on days that its needed the most. So thank you!

As there are hard days there are also good days! Life is short. We are each given trials that are supposed to help us grow in one way or another. I have learned a great deal of patience, empathy, faith, hope and through Him all things are possible! He is there to lift you back up. Comfort  you when need of comfort, strengthen you when you are weak. Through the Atonement we can get through the most dark and dreary of days. Kneel, he will listen. Go to the temple, there are many of our angels there who are working on us for good. Read your scriptures. There are a TON of answers that can be found there. With out the Gospel I would not be able to go on.. But knowing that I will see my loved ones again and be able to raise those sweet babies that I lost is such a comfort. There is more to this life then we can even comprehend!

There are tender mercies in our everyday lives...

Mine are :
Rainbows..
My Nieces and Nephews
My sweet dear Hubby, Matt
 A reminder that my sweet aunt Cathy is close. 

the sweet littles who always remind me to not give up hope

And this GUY! Who is there for me always!


As I am always looking for rainbows I always try to step back to learn to dance in the rain or as 
President Uchtdorf would say:
Take that umbrella down and look for those blessings that we are surrounded with in our everyday lives.

Welcome 2014!

So its a new year.. well I am a little late but that's ok.  New Year.. NEW ME! I am not going to focus so much on the future..but the present. So bring it on 2014! Hope there are lots of surprises and great things in store for Matt and I. Fertility is still going. Just hasn't been successful as we would have hoped. But that's ok. Whenever I am feeling down I like to sing the little song of "Just keep Swimming!"  It's one of those little quirky things I do. All we can do is just keep moving forward. I had come across this blog post. (sorry cant find the post) "The Lord will give you more then you can handle. Guarantee it." I Believe this to be true. The
 reason he does give us more is so that we will turn to him for help, guidance, and comfort.  He is just a prayer away. Thank goodness.. prayer is one of the very few things that has gotten me through this little trial.Along with the strength of my sweet hubby. He is more understanding that I could have ever imagined!

I love how our little families Christmas pictures turned out!


I sure love this man!

 Remember to just keep swimming!
